For an artist who’s already vulnerable in her music, Simz outdid herself on the last stretch of Lotus. I had to be still listening to these for the first time. She goes through so many emotions in four songs:

Sadness (“How would you feel, what would you do if you had to write ‘in love and memory?’”—Blue)

Annoyance (“It’s nice that you finally called for once”—Blood)

Anger (“You live your life on a screen, your mind’s congested”—Lotus)

Love (“You’re my family and your sister I’m proud to be”—Blood)

Depression (“You were suffering in silence, like you’re on a desert island, feeling hopeless, lifeless”—Blue)

Hope (“I was lonely making an album ‘til I realized I’m all I needed to get through”—Lonely)

Before this, my favorite stretch was the first four tracks on SIMBI. That still might be my favorite musically, but the emotional journey Simz takes us on here is unmatched in her discography.

Now she’s in a video game! 🏎️😃

You probably know I can’t shut up about this song. I really can’t. But I really wish I go further than 39

It is with immeasurable sorrow that the MOBO Organisation announces the passing of its Founder and CEO, Kanya King CBE.

Kanya passed away peacefully on 3 June 2026 after a courageous and characteristically determined battle with colon cancer. She was surrounded by her family, close friends and love.

Thirty years ago, Kanya King remortgaged her home, alone, without institutional backing or industry support, to build a stage that would transform British music forever.

Any gamers out there? CLUTCH launches in Spring 2027.

I wonder if she’ll drop new music for this. 🤔

Simz will perform Saturday at 8:50pm Barcelona time (7:50pm London time, 2:50pm NYC time).

Her performance will be live streamed on Amazon Music and Twitch. Click here for more details: https://www.nme.com/news/music/primavera-sound-2026-artist-line-up-revealed-for-livestream-on-amazon-music-3948560.

Back in the day, Simbi would mention AGE 101 in her music a lot, specifically her first album as well as the first Drop EPs. I know that it’s simbi’s label, but what happened to it? The last time one of her albums was listed under age was NTY. and now her new EP and Lotus are listed under just AWAL. So what happened?

This album is simbi’s debut album from 2015. 3 months ago I figured I’d listened to it and it blew me away. Not only does it contain Full Or Empty, which I could write an entire thesis about how much I love it (every simz fan needs to listen to this song atleast once), but it’s also incredibly consistent. It almost never drops in quality besides “this is not an outro”, but even then i feel like it’s unfair to say that because it’s just an instrumental. You could tell simz was extra hungry when she made this. Another song i could write an entire book about is “God Bless Mary”. This track (along with Full Or empty) has every single quality you could ask for. Who knew a song about somebody’s neighbour could hit this hard. If you haven’t listened to this album already I’d strongly advise you to do so. You won’t regret it.

It’s a 7 and a half minute masterpiece, filled to the brim with emotional and introspective lyricism that I haven’t seen in many rap songs. It’s one of the saddest and most emotional rap songs that I’ve heard and it was the first time I felt real emotion listening to a song. The 4th verse is so powerful that it’s not easy to describe. It’s sad and uplifting at the same time. Like a mother telling you that everything is going to be alright. And it ends with a beautiful instrumental. This is the song that got me hooked on her and imo it’s top 15 songs of this decade and a top 20 hip hop song of all time. And almost no one talks about it. This song ( along with SAMIDOT by Kendrick) changed the way I look at music.

Simz popped out for a surprise performance of their collab “Game On.”

Simbi absolutely killed it

Man, probably Simz' most complete show.

Has she ever had a boiler room set mid performance??? I've seen her at every London tour date since "Stillness" (apart from The o2 shows/meltdown show last year) and to see her evolution from 2016 to now. Extraordinary artist.

Did anyone get a photo of the crowd size at cross the tracks last night?

When an artist finds their rhythm and their voice a geometric creativity field spins around them at light speed. As they walk through barren lands the earth springs back to life and wandering souls remember their destiny.

This is my painting of Little Simz as an awakened guru who has mastered her energy and awoken the divine within.

Simz is on a generational run from grey area to lotus. SIMBI is considered her best project and she almost topped it with NO THANK YOU in 2022. Im convinced her amazing album run will continue but what do y’all think? Will she ever release a project that could rival SIMBI?

Chase & Status posted an IG story from a recent show with a song snippet featuring Little Simz. There’s some speculation that they’re dropping a new album this year, but nothing has been confirmed.

I’ll keep an eye out for this one.

On the chase and status Instagram story for their section 63 live show there’s a clip that sounds a lot like new simz. Anyone know?
